CBS Detroit reports:
"The U.S. Justice Department is working to shut down five Liberty Tax offices in Detroit.
A complaint filed in federal court against franchise owner Craig
Comer, of Royal Oak, says people at his Liberty Tax offices prepared tax
returns that fraudulently overstate refunds and claimed refundable

itemized deductions.
The Justice Departments says returns filed by the business from 2008 to 2013 have cost the U.S. Treasury about $4.5 million."
